LOS ANGELES
– Preliminary-card fighters swept the “fight night” bonuses at
Saturday’s “UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun.” Stefan Struve took home “Submission of the
Night” honors; Patrick Barry and Antoni Hardonk won “Fight of the Night.”
Barry took home a double award, also winning “Knockout of the Night.”

Each competitor earned a $60,000 bonus check per award with the UFC’s traditional
post-show bonus program, with Barry taking home a total of $120,000 in
bonus pay.

Announcing the awards, Dana White also mentioned that Anthony “Rumble” Johnson “should have won ‘Knockout of
the Night,'” but that the fighter wasn’t eligible due to
failing to make weight for his bout.

UFC 104 took place Saturday night at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Portions of the card aired on both Spike TV and pay-per-view.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) was on scene for the event and the night’s post-fight press conference, where the awards were announced.

Barry’s double awards resulted from an energetic fight finished via second-round TKO,
which the 29-year-old secured in the second round of a preliminary card bout that aired on Spike TV. The crowd-pleasing matchup ultimately ended when Barry
found his range and landed multiple one-two combinations, eventually knocking Hardonk to the floor with a jab and finishing with a quick dose of ground and pound.

Stuve, meanwhile, picked up the Submission of the Night bonus for his preliminary-card victory over UFC newcomer Chase Gormley. After opening the fight utilizing his kickboxing skills, Struve deftly worked in a triangle choke from top position and rolled
to his back to finish the hold. Gormley held on briefly, but Struve forced
the tap with 56 seconds remaining in the first frame to win the award.
